Festivals and concert series
The early music festival scene in the UK is extraordinarily creative and adventurous. Emerging and established artists alike are bridging the gap between the past and the present with inspiring programmes at festivals and in concert series across the country.
Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival
The Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival celebrates the glorious county town’s historic association with musicians since medieval times.
Blessed by extraordinarily rich ecclesiastical buildings, and a wealth of musical carvings in stone & wood in both Beverley Minster and St Mary’s Church, Beverley is the perfect place for a festival of early music.
Run by the National Centre for Early Music, the festival draws in residents and visitors alike to its annual series of concerts, illustrated lectures and associated workshops.
